I don't want this to turn into a willy waving contest but I'm interested to hear what kind of benefits people get from their employers. I'm not talking about salary or bonuses, more about annual leave, pension (contributory/non-contributory), healthcare, other benefits etc.

25 days holiday plus bank holidays. 3 of which have to be used when the office is shut between Xmas and New Year.
Private health care.
Oh yeah forgot about Staff Christmas Party.
We have our party at a posh hotel, free bar for the first hour, free wine throughout the meal, all staff and their partners paid for. And they pay for 2 buses to take us to the party and home again. So that's a nice perk.
Also once a year we sponsor the local Rugby team for a game. Free food and drink all afternoon. Maybe have one or 2 socials a year that the bosses will pay for us to have a meal too.
There is a pension scheme but its shite so not in it. And there's a child care voucher thing but as I don't have kids I don't use that either.

Its a bit different yea you dont get holiday pay etc. But broadband, mobile, laptop purchases bring the tax bill down

28 days holiday
Pension is paid at same amount I put in.
20% off every shop around my work.
Travel money each week around £75
Bonus money every hour, only 80 pence.
Think that's all.
Oh yeah yesterday I found a fishing rod at work too, brand new.
Someone must have stole it and threw it over the bridge before they got caught.
